Saint Croix Falls's housing stock is part of what determines termite risk. Housing here ranges from historic dairy-farm homes to newer lake-country cabins, with basements standard throughout. Combined with the local climate — a continental climate where both summer warmth and severe winter cold define the year, more so in the north than the south — soil-to-wood contact points around the foundation are the most common entry route.
We start with a full inspection of the foundation, crawl space, and any wood-to-soil contact points, looking for mud tubes, damaged wood, or swarmer activity. Treatment options include soil treatment around the foundation perimeter or bait-station monitoring systems that intercept foraging termites before they reach the structure. Every job includes a wood-destroying-insect inspection report.
